[Insight-users] Visible Human Dataset

[Bradley Lowekamp]

Hello Zein,

You can find all the information for the original data here:

http://www.nlm.nih.gov/research/visible/visible_human.html
http://www.nlm.nih.gov/research/visible/getting_data.html

The uncompressed Fullcolor slices are 7471104 bytes. The original data  
on the ftp is losslessly "Z" compress, but the sizes of these files  
very. They are originally named a_vm1001.raw.Z to a_vm2878.raw.Z

Then the radiological frozenCT data is name c_vm1006.fro.Z to  
c_vm2882.fro.Z when they are decompressed they are only 527704 bytes.

As your data does not match any of the original data, it has likely  
been processed some how. Hopefully there is information contained in  
the .inf file to help you.

Good luck,
Brad
